New season, new goals: @DOTA2 Roster Updatehttps:\/\/t.co\/YxCIZEMtI3#GONINJAS #DOTA2 pic.twitter.com\/gmXLl9YIAG \u2014 Ninjas in Pyjamas :flag-se: (@NiPGaming) September 20, 2019 \u201cAs of today, we are proud to be announcing that Peter \u201cppd\u201d Dager will be staying on as our team captain while inviting his former teammate Saahil \u201cUniverse\u201d Arora along with three rising stars to join our ranks.\u201d Universe and ppd were teammates together on Evil Geniuses for a number of years. Together, the team won themselves a lot of trophies, finished with high results at a number of major, and reached the pinnacle of Dota when they won the International 2015. NiP\u2019s full Dota 2 roster: Oliver \u201cSkiter\u201d Lepko Nico \u201cGunnar\u201d Lopez Saahil \u201cUniverse\u201d Arora Malthe \u201cBiver\u201d Winther Peter \u201cppd\u201d Dager Skiter and Biver most recently played for INFAMOUS at the EPICENTER major in 2019, but that\u2019s a different INFAMOUS roster from the South American roster that made the deep run at TI9. Gunnar is a young American player with plenty of potential. Since Evil Geniuses, Universe spent nearly a year with Fnatic, and then half a year with Forward Gaming before the org closed its doors this past July. In the official NiP announcement, the organization said they met their goals since re-entering the Dota 2 scene: win a trophy, qualify for The International, and establish themselves as a team to be reckoned with. But PPD says that he\u2019s still not satisfied: \u201cLast year didn\u2019t end as I hoped so we\u2019ve decided to switch things up. I\u2019m teaming up with my old-teammate Universe and a few up-and-coming talents to hopefully achieve greatness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
